3. "Farewell to Dong Chuan" by Su Shi of the Song Dynasty
His career was wrapped in rough cloth, and he was full of poetry and calligraphy.

4. "Twenty Rhymes to Li Twelve and White" by Du Fu in the Tang Dynasty
In the past, there was a crazy visitor who called him an immortal.
The pen fell in the storm, and the poem became the weeping ghosts and gods.
The reputation grew from then on, and it never spread.
The literary talent is extraordinary and its spread will be unparalleled.
Vernacular interpretation: At that time, there was a free and easy and wild man named Li Bai, who was known as the Immortal. Seeing him writing, the wind and rain sighed; seeing his poems, ghosts and gods were moved and cried. From then on, Li Bai's fame shocked the capital, and his previous difficulties and frustrations were swept away. He was summoned by Xuanzong to serve as a Hanlin scholar in the imperial court; his poems that shocked the world and wept ghosts and gods will surely be passed down through the ages.
5. "Songs of the Eight Immortals in Drinking" Tang Dynasty: Du Fu
Li Bai wrote one hundred poems about drinking wine and slept in a restaurant in Chang'an City.
The emperor couldn't get on the ship, so he claimed that he was a wine-drinking immortal.
Vernacular interpretation: Li Bai can compose hundreds of poems after drinking a fight. He went to Chang'an Street wine shops to drink, and often fell asleep drunk in the wine shops. The emperor was having a banquet in the lake and asked him to write a preface to the poem. He refused to get on the boat because he was drunk, claiming to be the immortal in wine.
